OUR CAMPUSES AND LOCATION
CONNECTED TO THE CAPITAL
Brighton is so well connected and easy to travel to. It’s around an hour from central London by train and just half an hour from London Gatwick Airport.
With direct trains to London Victoria, London Bridge and London St Pancras International, you’ll love Brighton’s connection to the capital (and beyond!).
Lots of our students use their time studying in Brighton to explore other UK cities and European countries on weekends and between semesters.
TRAVEL TIMES FROM GREATER LONDON STATIONS TO BRIGHTON
We are proud of the great places we’ve created for our students to learn and live in – inspiring, inclusive, accessible and sustainable spaces where they’ll be learning alongside students with shared academic interests.
Students will have access to the facilities they need to succeed and connect with other students on their campus.
OUR CAMPUSES
Our courses are based at one of our three campuses in Brighton.
Each campus has been designed for the subjects that are taught there. All have on-site halls of residence, so students can live within minutes of their classes. All have on-site purpose built student accommodation, so students can live within walking distance of their classes.
OUR ACCOMODATION GUARANTEE
We make sure that all our students have access to good quality, affordable and safe accommodation. We guarantee all international students a room in our halls of residence in their first year of study at the university, provided they accept their offer and book their accommodation by the deadline. If students prefer to live in privately rented accommodation, our Accommodation team can provide guidance on where to look.
Wiktoria, Film BA(Hons)
I like how City campus is central – it’s literally in the heart of the city which makes it easy to socialise with my classmates. By far my favourite part is the kit room. It’s filled with industry-standard cameras and equipment available to take out any time we want.
Eva, Pharmacy MPharm
Although I study at Moulsecoomb campus, I often visit Falmer campus for sports, it’s only 10 minutes on the train from the city centre. I used to live close to City campus so I used St Peters House library a lot. I love that it’s in an old converted building, it’s retained the vintage vibe on the inside which is really nice, and although I study pharmacy I’m always intrigued by the old art and fashion books they have in there.
Kacey, Economics BSc(Hons)
I am based at Moulsecoomb campus and absolutely love the modern feel and resources available; classrooms are big in size and always have great technology, and it’s a lovely environment to learn in. There are also lots of cafes and a huge library, which are great spaces to meet with peers and get some further learning done outside of lectures.
Brighton is known for its sustainable attitude, so there is a brilliant infrastructure of cycle paths and bus routes – plus Falmer, Moulsecoomb and the city are also all connected by train. But the city is so compact and easy to get around that lots of students choose to walk.
CITY CAMPUS
Our city centre campus is home to 3D design and craft, fine art, graphic design, illustration, digital music, digital media design, fashion and textiles, media, photography and film.
Our facilities for making and designing, workshops, studios, archives, galleries and the independent arts organisations based on site make for an inspiring, creative environment. All within minutes of the beach.
MOULSECOOMB CAMPUS
Wherever their classes are, students will want to spend some time at Moulsecoomb – it’s our biggest campus and student village and half of our students are based there. There are five blocks of student accommodation on campus, as well as the Students’ Union bar and a gym with cardio and weights suites, studios and a programme of classes.
Students studying subjects such as architecture, business, computing, construction, engineering, geography, product design, law, pharmacy, journalism, creative writing, politics and psychology are all based there, and buildings like Elm House and Mithras House have been designed with big communal spaces for everyone to meet. Moulsecoomb is just two miles from the city centre and seafront and it’s an area that the city is investing in, with new cafes, shops and social spaces – plenty of places for our students to enjoy and be part of the community.
FALMER CAMPUS
All our education, sport and health sciences subjects are based at the Falmer campus with its great facilities and beautiful surroundings. It’s a short ride on the bus or train – or there are cycle lanes all the way from the city centre.
There are student halls on campus, fantastic sport and fitness facilities, as well as multiple cafes and places to eat, plus a Students' Union meeting place. Students can be living and studying on the edge of the South Downs, with the city centre and seafront within easy reach just four miles away. Falmer is popular for visitors – next door to our campus is the home of Premier League football club Brighton & Hove Albion, as well as beautiful Stanmer Park.
